Dogs doing "extraordinary" things
I think we all know how special dogs are, and how they can perform "miracles" as such. Has there been an instance where your dog has done something "extraordinary"? Even events where they've done something that had a positive result would be interesting to read about.
Harley's story
When I was 9 years old I was with my sister walking Harley, and I got attacked by a street dog. This dog leapt up on me and was about to bite my face, when Harley intervened (sensing my panic, I assume) and bit the dog on his leg really hard. The stray jumped off me and I had a few seconds to start running towards my home, where this dog proceeded to wait outside our front door for 4 straight hours. I seriously think I would have either died or been seriously injured had it not been for Harley. Harley's never bitten a dog in his entire life, except for this time.
Abby's story
We took Abby with us to Melbourne one time, and we were walking around one of the city suburbs. There was a stray dog wandering along the footpath, and it decided to attempt crossing the busy main road (that had 6 lanes). The dog was inches from being hit by a car, and Abby barked at the dog. Having got it's attention, the stray dog ran back onto the footpath. That dog would have been killed if Abby hadn't been her naughty self, barking at dogs all the time!
